Ben Roethlisberger Engaged To Ashley Harlan

New Castle News confirmed on Wednesday that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is engaged to a Ashley Harlan, a native of Lawrence County, PA.

More from Kayleen Cubbal of the New Castle News:

Sources have confirmed that Roethlisberger is engaged to Ashley Harlan, a 2004 graduate of Laurel High School whose family home is on Devils Elbow Road in Hickory Township.

Word of the engagement, which is said to have occurred over the Christmas holiday, leaked out both locally and nationally over the past few days and, while Roethlisberger said following yesterday's practice that he would not discuss his personal life, the proverbial cat appears to be out of the bag.

When asked about the engagement rumors on Tuesday, Roethlisberger declined to comment and said, "You guys know that I am not going to talk about my personal life."

Does Ms Harlan know about the engagement?

Guess his handlers told him this would help his image. This poor woman has no idea what she's getting herself into with a guy like this. No amount of charm, money, or professions of love will make up for the kind of man he is.

Really are you serious??? Bradshaw started dating his third wife when she was 19 years old. Bradshaw also was a drunk and beat up a couple of his wives. The reason it was not reported because in the 1970's there was not this 24 hours news cycle.

Bradshaw has turned his life though it seems.

All he needs now is a college bar bathroom, and 2 hillbilly yokels posing as cops to guard the door.

I don't see how any woman would want to marry him. He makes me sick.

Is that the girl he assaulted in the bathroom of that college bar?

Nothing says true love like date rape and urinal cakes.

Prediction: He won't be married to this person in five years.

Good luck lady, you will need it. Then again I'm sure being his wife for a year or so will pay well.

The Rooney family runs a tight ship in Pittsburgh. Big Ben was probably advised that he better quickly become a wholesome family man if he wanted to continue to be the Steelers QB.

Yeh, but who, in her right mind would want to be the victim?

Oh. I get it. This is just business....
